- Be the source of design others build and run from working at platform scale and anticipating second-order effects and organisational constraints
- Diagnose systemic reliability issues to the structural fix across multiple classification domains rather than the efficient patch
- Set the teams automation standard exemplary code with deliberate explained choices around safety idempotency and maintainability (still scripting and automation not production service development)
- Carry the estates ISM/PSPF posture as the teams authority setting how the team approaches accreditation across multi-domain environments
- Provide thought leadership that shapes how reliability and secure-toolchain practice is applied across the software autonomy and Maritime engineering teams we partner with
- Mentor at depth and raise the whole teams bar across automation systems design and infrastructure craft teaching across any layer
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Around twelve or more years in infrastructure reliability or platform engineering demonstrated experience weighted over formal qualifications
- A trusted track record of running production toolchains and classified-domain infrastructure end to end deep enough across several layers and conversant enough in the rest to set a teams standard
- Authoritative across both cloud-native (AWS Terraform Kubernetes) and classified on-premises (Windows Active Directory VMware air-gapped) estates
- Real ISM/PSPF accreditation ownership and significant influence over how an estate is run
- Exemplary scripting and automation judgement and the ability to set and hold an automation standard across a team
- Systems-design authority at platform scale with clear communication of complex reliability and accreditation trade-offs to diverse audiences
- Australian citizen able to obtain and maintain an Australian NV2 security clearance (existing NV2 or equivalent preferred)
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Deep experience in highly regulated environments (Defence or other Critical Infrastructure) setting accreditation approach across multi-domain environments
- A history of influencing reliability and secure-toolchain practice beyond your own team
- Experience mentoring senior engineers and setting team-wide standards for automation and infrastructure craft
- Software-engineering depth for example production service development in Go Rust or similar is welcomed and can open additional more software-heavy reliability roles but is not required and is never a screen for this role
